Professor Sen was an amazing professor and I wish I can take ENV 11 with her again. She is funny and down to earth and will make you understand earth science more better. If you suck at science, you will leave the class with a better understanding of the material and a satisfying grade.
Professor Sen is a good professor. She is extremely passionate. She gives quizzes that as long as you study, you'll pass easily. The exams are a little tougher, but you just have to study hard. She tends to give a lot of homework that you must keep up with, but she gives you time to hand it in. She is really nice, she just gives a lot of work.
SHE'S A GOOD PROFESSOR . JUST DO WHAT SHE TELLS YOU TO DO AND YOU WILL BE FINE.
Professor helps you the whole way through. She'll allow make ups for exams if she sees you're willing to put in work
Prof. Sen is the truth. She genuinely cares 4 students. If you give 100% she'll give you back the same. Expect to read, do hw, and assignments. Everything she gives you will help you in the end. Nothing is in vein. Expect to work, and expect her to be her kind, genuine self. She will truly be missed. Do hw, show up 4 class, give it your best.
She is great. I would take her class again.
She's the best!!
Professor Sen is one of the most inspirational professors you will find in Bronx Community College. She makes science easier with power points and tutoring. I love her :)
she went from 0-100 real quick after we did her evaluations, and added unnecessary work that was too much
She is a very sweet person and I enjoyed her anectdotes. It was a little frustrating that she kept moving stuff in the syllabus around, but if you aren't taking alot of classes you can keep up with it fine. Study guides are very clear cut, passing is very easy, just read the book and use the guides. Interesting class.
I took this class as a honor class. She is a wonderful professor. she cares about you. she cares about you understanding and passing all the quizzes and final exam. she gave us a group work and quizzes almost in every chapter. she explained everything in detail. ESE 11 is somewhat difficult, but with these professor you would not have a problem.
The attendance is mandatory you should not be absent. The textbook is also mandatory. The class I took was writing intensive but it was great. We had to go to field trips, to the museum and exploring NYC. This is helpful for the final. If you show up to class, do your work & pay attention it will be easy. Definitely recommend this class.
She is pretty rude but she is knowledgeable. If you question her authority she gets defensive and feels disrespected
shes super nice but a little over the place. says there will be a quiz every week but doesnt really do it. quizzes are easy and doesnt give much homework
She is a amazing instructor and the lectures are very clear . No texting in class. Dont ever disrespect her in anyway . She is amazing in her field of science and very inspiring as well . I would take her in any science course . This course was a requirement for my Major.
She is a great teacher. I struggled in the beginning of the class. Mainly because this is a honors course. She forces you to go to tutoring. Gives chapter quizzes but gives you a study guides that are basically like the test. If you don't pass this class its because you did not try hard enough. Shes very inspirational, and understanding.
Great Teacher at first, but as the semester goes on she begins to grade too harshly by finals time, so make sure you study like crazy. I believe the final lecture exam is graded to heavily on your overall grade.
She is an exceptional teacher. I liked this class, you have to do a lot, but if are one of those people who wants to learn and get good grades you will like it as well. She forces you to go to tutoring. Textbooks are mandatory. It's not so hard if you study and go to tutoring. If you don't pass this class it's because you did not try hard enough.
She is very caring and wants her students to understand that effort pays off. She knows the subject is boring so she makes it interesting by referring to real world topics. Expect to have the books required for the class because she doesn't take google answers. For the most part, she sticks to the syllabus unless things interfere. Overall, great!
Great professor. Took her for an honors course, truly knows how to help you study and learn the stuff even though earth science can be a lot. Interesting class. Make sure to be present and take good notes.
I took this class in summer as writen intensive 3 weeks and it is hard because you got read alot the book, she does't use google verything is from the book, good thing is she prepare you for the exam and she gave study guide which is helpful for the exam. in order to pass you got work hard. I reconmend her but not for summer class.
I took this class as a summer course. And let me tell you something you NEED the books, otherwise you not going to pass this class. Is a 3 weeks course in summer. I like the teacher but the content is really difficult to understand so fast. So I will recommend take this course with her but in another time. This class is very tough in summer.
I took professor Sen in the summer and she is AMAZING! I only had her for 3 weeks since it was a summer course but I totally recommend you guys to take her. She is very helpful and caring. She is also very funny. She teaches very well and repeats herself so you can understand better. (Textbook and Lab book is REQUIRED) and also ATTENDANCE.
I love this professors approach to helping student to excel in her class. She is very caring and create a awesome atmosphere for lecturing which i really love. i took her in the winter 2019. Get ready for pop up quizzes, assignments and labs. Wishing her all the best in her endeavors and may the good lord continue to bless her abundantly. Prof Sen.
she is the best, very jovial and care about her students.
Take her class please. She is the best professor at BCC. Highly recommend her class. Buy the textbook.
I love Professor Sen. She geninuely cares. She's motivating and inspiring ALL the time, even without trying to be. No matter your major she will help push you in your field. Her energy made our class get along so well. We was like a class of bestfriends and I hate making friends. It was just amazing.
Amazing Professor! So caring, drops so many life jewels that can help you in life and your career. The best professor at BCC. Lots of work but it only prepares you for the tests. She expect you to work hard but trust me you will be happy you took her class. I wish I can take her again!
Amazing person over all.
She seems like a hardworking & caring person. She does give you opportunities to make up work which is a life saver for students who are busy with their jobs and/or families. Aside from the material she teaches, she gives encouraging advice for job opportunities and life in general most probably because she would like us to be happy & successful.
Professor Sen is one of the best professors at Bronx Community College. She made Science come alive for me. Before I took her class I hated Science. Now I want to take another Science class with her. If you take her class and you are serious about your education, you will learn a lot and it will be enjoyable.
Professor Sen loves teaching and it shows. She really provides real life experiences to all her lectures. Professor Sen is inspirational with her love for the environment, She provides us with careers options one may choose if one were to go down the science route.
I've just got finish from taking her class, three weeks of hard work, believe me when I tell you this Professor is one of a kind, she will tell you what's gonna be on what before hand. Amazing motivational speaker, she is a bit critical when it comes to lab assignments, she is quite a philosopher as well. I would love to take her once more.
i took Env 11 with professor Sen this summer ,i can tell you this professor is passionate about her job,very helpful ,funny and She really make sure you understand the course .i recommend her to anyone .you will love her class.
she is really good professor. she is careful to every individual students. she explain every single topic which help to understand easily and makes our exam easy.
She is very kind Professor. Her lecture is very helpful for my classmates and I because she makes examples to make clear any chapter. I call her my Mother because her advice make to pay attention all of my classes. The best thing of her teaching is if my classmates and I can ask any questions, she answered gentle.
Professor Sen is one of the professor I admire the most. She teach one of the hardess classes, by choosing for ENV and ESE 11 make understand more about the environment and the Earth. she take her time which and breakdown every word for the students undersdant. She so kind and carring for the students understanding. I strongly advise to choose her
You want to understand more about the enviromnent. if you ave too to choose a class in ENV11. i advise you to search for professor Paramita Sen. you will make the class great for by giving you the perfect information, and the way will understand it. I suggest her to you if you need a better grade and understanding the course.
Great and caring especially if you show interest. Kind of motherly
Paramita is the best Env professor ever! She is very caring and gives a lot of opportunities for make up. Her lectures are really interesting and she will make you pass she will help you in any way that she can. She prepares us well for the final. However the text book is not necessary even when she says that you will use it she gives the material
She's very good. Loves her students and treat them well. Makes sure you pass your class and do well. Also prepare you for finals and exams with well study guide. If your are ready to learn to d ok well take her class!
Professor sen, is a good professor, gives good feedback and makes her class interesting.
She is a great professor, she cares about her students and is very passionate about her job.
I loved how Professor Sen didnt stick to the textbook consistently during her lectures. Giving real life examples of things shes witnessed and stories about others she knows gave me a better understanding of the course plus made it more intriguing plus shes got a great sense of humor. Highly respect her as a person
Professor sen is one of the most amazing professors I had here in BCC, She's super caring and always does her best to make sure you have a great understanding of everything. If you want to have a easy semester for a 4 credit science take professor sen!!!!
Professor Sen is an awesome lecturer, here at the Bronx Community College. She is also an well-rounded professor, that administers tender care towards her students. She'll even assist you further by tutoring--that is as a group leader. A teacher that is uniquely explicit on accommodation. My advice is to be on-time for classes and study smartly.
This is a really good professor. She'll never give you an assignment impossible to complete. Just make sure to take notes while she lectures because she can speak fast sometimes. The quizzes come always from what she teaches and are not that hard. She is not hard, the course is demanding. Just make sure to study hard and you'll pass for sure!!!
I love her so much, she is such an inspiration to us students. That honestly I wish if all the professors be like her. genuinely cares for her students and their progress in the class. she will give you a lot of work but that's just to prepare you for any 4-year college that you plan on attending too and life in general. I love you with a big hug.
Professor Sen is a caring, dynamic and hard working instructor. She makes sure to explain class in the most simple way to make sure you understand. She always have that positive attitude about everything. Professor Sen just makes you not scare about environmental science.
Professor Paramita Sen has been one of the greatest professors I've taken at Bronx Community College. She is so caring and makes you enjoy this class. She is also engaging and gives good feedback. I will definitely take her if I need another science class.
I really enjoyed her and this class! The exams were kind of hard and she offers extra credit. Homework is not often but make sure to study hard for tests. She is personable and brings the course full circle, I would really recommend for UP.
She is one of the best science profesor I have ever have, Shea very helpful and good with students.
Professor Sen was amazing for my last semester , which also is occurring through the pandemic. She is lenient and will work with you, however you need to study and read the book! This class isnt easy but Professor Sen made it easier and will not move on until everyone understands the subject . She also encourages to ask questions. Amazing!!!
Attend and Participate in lectures, do your assignments on time and be respectful and you will pass the class.
Something went wrong on my exam and dont want to fix it.
Professor Sen is very good and caring!
Professor Sen is an amazing professor, very detailed oriented and teaches you what you need to know. Very optimistic when it comes to people feeling scared to take a test.
I signed up for her summer class. It was a lot of knowledge in a short period of time but she made it very easy and took her time to make sure we all understood the material, giving us the best chance of passing.
Since the class is online, it proved to be very difficult since I am a in-person learner but we had to adapt, the structure of the class was well done given the current climate.
Professor Sen is a really great professor. Shes's always available and always willing to help you and find ways to help you improve your grade whether it's through reviews for the final or giving extra credit in labs. It's always best to skim over the powerpoints before the lecture as you'll be ahead.
She is an excellent professor and cares a lot about students. If you have a problem, she understands you and helps you with the class to make your life easier.
The class is very good and easy at the same time, when is time for the lecture the professor explain everything in way that everyone understand and the the homework, quizzes and lab are very easy also.
Professor Sen is a very caring professor that engages her students in real life environment issues and even invited us to a real life virtual event to watch the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. She gives extra credit but will be worth very little to (ex. 1 point added to one lab grade). Overall, I recommend Professor Sen.
She cares about her students. Always makes sure you understand before she moves on. Definitely would take again if I could!
The professor Sen is amazing she is always available, explain the topics very clear, and if you don't understand she takes time to explain. I took in summer online she was flexible. The professor Sen makes me interesting in caring for the environment and having more knowledge about global warming.
Professor Sen is one of the few professor that actually care about her student. She will help with anything you need help. As long as you do your work and respect her you will enjoy her class. She is amazing.
This professor is pretty amazing the lectures are super easy things to understand if you do not get something she does not give up on you she will keep repeating it and repeating it and until you understand
Professor Sen is honestly one of the best professors I've encountered at BCC. She makes the lectures very interesting and is available to help students. She's a sweet lady and cares about her students. I definitely recommend her.
This professor follows her syllabus and is easy to follow. In my experience, she grades stuff late and when I asked her to revised a grade she said she would and didn't (twice). She ended giving a final grade with out revising the one I asked her too. Then she said I never submitted the lab when I had screenshots and blackboard receipt that I did
She lack communication(doesn't reply back to emails on-time). She doesn't grade all your work when you hand it in. She continuously ask the students how she is doing then will have the nerve to ask yo to come on here and rate her as a great professor. She is full of cramp.
So she had my first rating flag cause she stays on here. She will ask her students to rate her. As I said in my last post. She is VERY AWFUL. I totally agree with the recent post of low rating. She is definitely full of CRAP!!! She doesn't reply back to emails better yet grade all your work you completed or even try to compromise with you at all.
I took her twice enjoyed her lectures and very flexible as long as work is done
I asked her the reason for my finals and she never replied. Blackboard must of not saved my work because I dont believe I got a low grade I knew most of the questions.
Professor Paramita Sen made the ENV11 course so easy to understand for her students! I took the course as an honor course.
Professor Sen is amazing! If I could take another class that she teach I would gladly take it. Very caring and understanding, creative and engages with the student hundred percent of the time. If a student doesn't understand she'll try to explain it in many different ways until the student understands the material.
Professor Sen was such a gem!!!!! I love her so much, I was dealing with a lot of personal problems and she made it very nice for me. She is so genuine, you can see she really loves what she does and that warms my heart, She truly is the best winter professor I ever had! Thank you so much for being understanding Professor!
AMAZING !!! she is truly one of a kind . I was never that good in science but her lectures are very clear & understanding . Quizzes are based off readings and she so inspirational she told me to do it for my gma which is an amazing trait in a professor. Wish I couldve taken her for a full semester ..
Sen is a great professor you can get in contact with her each time you have a problem she always has a solution. I took her for ese 11 and env 11 in the summer and winter section which makes the class a little heavy but nothing out of the extraordinary. She gives quizzes every day. Be ready to do the labs shes an easy A if you do the work.
aggressive, hard to understand, - had to write a 2 page essay every single day. ill take my chances else where. took an exam- the exam kick me out half way through. she still held me accountable for time meanwhile the exam kicked out other students as well. super inconsiderate. 57 multiple choice 8 open ended questions and a essay all in 3 hours.
Professor Sen is an amazing professor, she has taught us so much things surrounding the curriculum. She also uplifts us with daily motivational stories about the study abroad in India. Highly recommend this professor. O.A
I really enjoyed her class. She's very organized which is something I always look for. If you take notes, show up, and ask questions you'll do great. Science is always a course I struggled in so it was refreshing to have a professor that took her time with the course. Thank you Professor Sen !
Addressing many comments. She teaches mandatory hard classes that usually has labs. its not surprise she gives a lot of quizzes/paperwork because the final (which is given from a separate department) is hard. The hard work is her trying to prepare you. She is hard to get reach of but she does the hw with you in class. Shes nice/demands respect.
Also I took 2 classes with her. A lot of people says shes rude but shes not, she has an accent and because of that people feel that can up speak her so she will correct it. Dont be lazy do the work and youll pass. She literally gives you all the tools to psd people just dont like working for their grade
she is amazing , I strongly suggest her for you, she is that type of teacher that help her students to get good grade. she does not give hard homework. take her you will not regret.
This professor means well, but she teaches way too many classes and it is hard for her to notice her students effort. She does not have enough time to grade property. There is also a language/accent barrier to understand her.
She's a great professor. but she's all over the place messy, hard to understand but class is overall easy but very confusing at times.
Do NOT take this professor. She do not know how to teach and always gossiping that she is so important and talks about her family is rich and husband doctor instead of teaching. She cannot answer simple questions about the environment but yet boost that she is a important person to the college. DO NOT TAKE HER. You will not learn nothing much.BAD
she does not review anything all she wants to do is give tests every monday and she doesn't teach you anything. its like she comes to work just to get paid she doesn't care about your education
Excellent Professor. Explains clearly (everyone has their own accent, you CAN understand her),she is there for students, understands us, and has clear grading criteria. Help with extra credits. You just have to participate, be responsible, communicate, take notes and be in class. The best ESE 11-ENV 11. This Professor is the right selection. Got A!
Her lectures are entertaining; uses her own slides. There is an electronic interactive textbook with exercises that you can do on your own. I obviously like her teaching since I have take two of her courses. She cares about her students. If you do your work, pay attention to her lectures, complete your labs, you will do well in her class.
I agreed to a previous student comment that we learn about this professor personal life and money and who she knows rather than teaching what environmental is about and she is not a professor you can ask question to, she gets really upset and yell. Stay away from this professor section. You will teach yourself. She will mess your grades up.
I WOULD NEVER ADVISE ANOTHER STUDENT TO TAKE Ms. Sen class. She is terrible and not knowledgeable of ESE or ENV. I took both class with her and got C when I am an A and B average student. She have connections in the department as she always talks that she runs the department and she takes students abroad and a good asset to BCC. We cannot complain
She's a good professor, but she puts too many assignments and thinks that we don't have other classes to do from other professors. I bought a book that I never used, and sometimes it's difficult to understand what she says. Participation matters, and pay close attention too because she explain everything like she's in a hurry
Very Very aggressive, hard to understand, - had to write a 2 page essay every single day. ill take my chances else where. NO NOT TAKE HER. SHE IS AWFUL.
she does not review anything all she wants to do is give tests every monday
I am sorry to say but I will never recommend this professor to anyone. She is not organizing and is very disrespectful. She answers her phone in class all the time. Just because you are the chairwoman of the science department do not grant you the right to insults your students.
I would not recommend this LECTURER to noooo one,. She is very disrespectful like Truimp. She thinks only INDIAN student matters. Dismissed student when asking questions. Always on the phone
Whatever you do, AVOID this class. She doesn't explain things very well and is very unorganized. If she expects you to go on trips just know that she's a terrible planner. She will tell you very close to the trip date when you're going. She constantly pauses her class to answer her phone. And she's inconsiderate of people's personal lives.
